Grundlagen

Willkommen bei Forge of Empires! Übernehmt die Kontrolle über ein mächtiges Imperium: Errichtet eure Stadt, führt sie erfolgreich durch die Zeitalter, erforscht neue Technologien, erobert die Welt und triumphiert über eure Widersacher.

Ziel des Spiels

Der Weg zum Erfolg liegt in der weisen Verwendung von Ressourcen – nur wenn ihr die richtige Balance zwischen Einnahmen und Ausgaben findet, könnt ihr neue Technologien freischalten, eure Stadt weiter verbessern und dem Pfad zu Ruhm und Ehre folgen.

Die Zeitalter

Ihr beginnt als Anführer eines kleinen Stammes. Mit der Zeit werdet ihr euch entwickeln – ihr werdet neue Technologien erforschen, Gebiete erobern und euer kleines Dorf zu einer großen Metropole ausbauen. Das Spiel ist grob in Zeitalter eingeteilt. Ihr beginnt in der Steinzeit und werdet die Bronze- und Eisenzeit durchschreiten, die verschiedenen Phasen des Mittelalters durchleben, die Kolonialzeit und das Industriezeitalter kennenlernen. Ihr erreicht ein neues Zeitalter durch das Freischalten einer Technologie aus dieser Zeit. Einmal im neuen Zeitalter angekommen, erhaltet ihr ein neues Hauptgebäude, welches automatisch das alte ersetzt. In den meisten Fällen können mit dem Erreichen eines Zeitalters sogar direkt neue Gebäude errichtet werden.

Die Karte der Kontinente

Das Entwickeln und Managen eurer Stadt ist nicht alles. Auf der Karte der Kontinente könnt ihr euer Imperium vergrößern, indem ihr Provinz um Provinz erobert. Es lohnt sich, da hier wertvolle Belohnungen warten. Die Karte der Kontinente ist in Bereiche eingeteilt, die lose den Zeitaltern des Spiels entsprechen. Euer Fortschritt auf der Karte verläuft etwa parallel zu eurem Voranschreiten in der Forschung. Und beachtet – hinter der Karte der Kontinente gibt es noch eine ganze Welt voller Karten und mehr Abenteuern.

Die Stadt

The nuts and bolts of a successful city is production. Only if you produce enough coins and supplies will you be able to get the newest buildings and military units. Be sure, though, to have as many residential buildings and production buildings as possible, since they give you your main income. Compare the buildings you are able to build carefully – there is always a building that is best suited to your playing style. Almost as important is the happiness level of your people, because if your citizens are happy, their production is much more efficient. So build cultural buildings and decorations, and always try to keep your people inspired.

Forschung

At the top of your city view in the center, there is a display showing your Forge Points. Every hour you get one more, until you have reached your maximum. These points are the engine that drives forth your empire: You need them to trade, to level up Great Buildings and, more importantly, for research. You conduct research by investing into technologies in the research tree with your points. If you have come up with the required amount and (if necessary) the unlocking costs, the advantages of the new technology will be available to you and you can build something new in your city from your building menu.

Quests

On the left of the screen you will see portraits of your advisors. If you click on one, you can do quests for them. Quests let you delve deeper into the game world, and they tell you the history of the world, its countries and rulers.

Fulfilling quests is worth it – because you get interesting rewards such as goods, coins, supplies, units that are not tied to slots in military buildings, and diamonds. There are basically two different types of quests. Your right hand man, Ragu Silvertongue, leads you through the main story. You cannot refuse his quests – you have to do them. At a later point in the game there will be a second questline with an additional storyline, quests which you can't abort either.

Your other advisors give you very different assignments: Your architect Fernikus will often ask you to construct buildings, and your scientist Mandrubar will push for research. You can reject or discard those quests of your other advisors. There is no shame in doing so, and if you doubt a quest fits into your strategy, you can reject or discard it. This may even occasionally be necessary, because unlike the quests of Ragu Silvertongue, it might happen that your advisors gives you an unattainable quest. Most of the quests that you reject are, then, however, irrevocably gone, and you will get no chance to do them later. But this is no big deal – it's impossible to see all the quests in the game, and you will receive only tasks that are adequate for your current situation in the game – and often a variety of possible situations are included. Therefore, if you reject a specific quest, you will get another to replace it.

Karte und Kämpfe

You should never lose sight of the continent map. Acquire provinces, because only then will you get more expansions you can place in your city and can utilize essential good deposits. Whether you trade for your sectors or conquer them is your decision. At first, it is easy to defeat the armies of your enemy with military units, but soon the battles become more challenging.

Prepare yourself well for this: pay close attention to what units your opponent has, and bring units on to the field which are a good match for them. In general terms, fast units are good at fighting against ranged units, and melee units are good against fast units. Ranged fighters in turn have an advantage against melee units. You can do more to increase your chances in battle: If you infiltrate a sector, the enemy units are already damaged at the beginning of the battle, which can provide a distinct advantage. Furthermore, if you are utilizing the terrain on the battlemap wisely, and always try to gang up on an enemy unit with several units of your own, you should prevail in battle and crush resistance.

Spieler

Primär spielt ihr in eurer Stadt und auf der Karte der Kontinente, aber die Interaktion mit Spielern in eurer Nachbarschaft sind der Schlüssel zu Erfolg und Spielspaß. Handelt mit ihnen, um dringend benötigte Ressourcen zu erhalten. Besucht ihre Städte und poliert oder motiviert die Gebäude eurer Mitspieler oder marschiert mit eurer Armee bei ihnen ein und trefft sie während der regulären Turniere auf dem Schlachtfeld, um eure Fähigkeiten als Kommandeur unter Beweis zu stellen. Zu guter Letzt könnt ihr die schwer zu erhaltenen legendären Bauwerke in eurer Stadt errichten, für deren Ausbau ihr die Hilfe eurer Nachbarn, Freunde und Gildenmitglieder brauchen werdet.

This gives you a few extra coins that can be of good use early in the game, as well as a small chance to find a valuable blueprint-piece for a Great Building. Great Buildings will provide great advantages to any player that manages to build one. In addition to peaceful coexistence, you also have the opportunity to fight against your neighbors. If you and your attacking army defeat the defenders of the enemy, you can plunder a building – this can generate additional income, but you should realize that such behavior does not win you friends. However, if you participate in tournaments, you can get coveted medals, but there will be almost no way around having to fight a lot.

Güter

After some time you will need goods. Always keep in mind and plan ahead as to ensure you never get to a point where you are stuck because you lack the necessary goods. You do not have to produce all the goods yourself – concentrate on those which you found good deposits for on the continent map. Team up with other players and trade these goods with them to get ones you don't have. You can also exchange goods with non-player dealers; but their exchange rate is so bad that you should do it only if you really have no other choice. There is also another way to get goods: If you employ your army, with skill and good timing, you can rob your neighbor of goods productions.
